I learnt this code from the create tutorials, and now im trying it with an object and not a primitive. However, I cant see my model at all ive tried putting different numbers in with the player angle(they used -180 in the tut) but I dont even know whats wrong. Please could someone point out to me where the mistake is. Source provided. Thanks.

the code is correct..there are 2 possibilities
1 - you are inside your ninja ..try a high offset value like 1000 instead of 100

2 - the model is one of those that disappear in DBP
nothing you can do about i think, or try to scale it -1,-1,-1 to reverse normals

For anyone else experiencing this problem or might in the future, I scaled the model to a huge size tweaked the camera, then halved the size, tweaked etc etc It works fine now I think my camera was too far away
(it was a speck in the distance when scaling it lol)
